Commercial leases usually include rent reviews, often every 3 or 5 years. The lease sets how the new rent is worked out: linked to RPI or CPI, a fixed uplift, or the open market rent.
This calculator applies the lease terms, including caps, collars and upward-only clauses, to work out the new rent and the increase.
| Current rent | £20,000 a year |
